Under Indictment in New
York for Grand Larceny
From I Richard K.
Fox.
This mornings Constitution prints
the following interesting story
about “the only lord that some
people ever had ” even Beresford :
A decidedly interesting chapter
w added to the case of “Lord”
Beresford yesterday, and it is a
chapter that inay have important
hearing upon the lord’s aspirations
to freedom.
In the governor's mail was a
package of official documents which
proved to be a copy of a New York
indictment against Lascelles or
Beresford that is hanging over his
head, ancHhe affi lavit of a promi
nent New York attorney, which
gives some interesting facts con
cerning his past.
If the statements made are true,
that career has been a decidedly
checkered one. Not only has Las
celles sown wild oats in large qan
tities, but he is wanted by the po
lio 1 authorities in more {daces than
one.
THE RICHARD K. FOX CAS E.
Tw indictment, a certified copy
"Mich is furnished by John F.
toll, clerk of ths co irt of gen
ifi!sessions, and also of the court
ofoyer and terminer, New York
city, charges that Walter S. Beres
ford as guilty of grand larceny in
the second degree.
In giving details of the charge,
the indictment gpes on to say that
on the 3d of July, 1891, “with force
and arms with intent to deprive
an I d°fraud one Richard K. Fox,
if the proper moneys, goods, chat
tels and personal property herein
after mentioned, and of the use
and benefit thereof and to appro
priate the same to his own use,
•aid WalterS. Beresford did then
and there feloniously, fraudulently
and falsely pretend and represent
to one Christopher Clarke, then be
ing the agent of the said Richard
*'■ Fox, that a certain paper writ
mg, with the words and figures
following, to-wit: ’“No. A. 14,592,
Loudon, July 3, 1891. The Orient
al Bank Corporation, limited,
West Er.d branch, 26 Cockspnr

i°rd- £100,” was a good and valid
order for £IOO in the lawful mon
ey ofthe United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, and was then
a " d there ofthe value of $486. ”
The paper goes on to say that
I ark" was induced by reason of
’h' fraudulent pretenses and rep
r '"utntions to pay Beresford 175
II tn mey and 111 1 in a check, and
in truth the paper was not a

papers of New York and Philadel
phia a sensational and scurilous
account of certain members of this
family. Mr. King tells of his efforts
to secure Beresford’s arrest through
the cith detectives and some pri
vate detectives whom he employed,
‘‘because said Lascelles was too
shrewd and wily.” Subsequently
however, Lascelles went to Albany,
and there he was arrested.
The penalty for such an offense
is not to exceed five years in the
penitentiary. This charge, so Mr.
King says, has never been disposed
of for the reason tnat Lascelles
was at that time wanted in Rome,
Ga., for forgery and Mr. King, be
lieving that it was better that Las
celles should serve the state Geor
gia, co operated with the Georgia
authorities in having him brought
here.
THE WIFE WANTS A DIVORCE.
Mr. King goes on to say that he
is well acquainted with Maud Las
celles, the wife of the “lord;” that
he saw her frequently during some
weeks prior to the arrest in Albany
and many times afterward during
the next few months; that she
was in great fear and terror lest
she should suffer great harm or in
jury from Lascelles if he should
be angry with her or if she should
take any steps to have him ar
rested or detained in prison; that
she repeatedly told deponent, who
was her attorney in certain litiga
tion in which she was involved,
that she very much wished to ob
tain a decree of divorce from her
husband, but she feared taking any
steps because she thought if he got
out of prison he would be very an
gry and would injure her.
Furthermore, she was threatened
with numerous suits inJGeorgia for
debts contracted by him and for
which his creditors claimed that
she had made herself personally
liable. She was in an extremely
nervous condition and much brok
en in health", and greatly desired
to avoid the litigation which would
be brought against her if she re
sumed her residence in Georgia in
order to obtain a decree of divorce
there.
Subsequently, when her hr sband
had escaped from the penitentiary
and had been discovered in a house
of ill fame, she endeavored to ob
tain evidence by which she could
secure a divorce in the state of
New York upon the grounds pre
scribed by statute in that stat;*, and
has now retained special attorneys
for the purpose of obtaining a di
vorce.
It would, he says, be n groat hard
ship upon her to hnVe him par
doned, because thus far the attor
neys have not been able to secure
the evidence to prove adultery,
and her suit for divorce will now
have to be prosecuted only on the
ground that her husbaad was con
victed of a felony in Georgia.
Mr. King throws other light on
the divorce fia'ure. He says the
marriage contract was entered in
to in Pennsylvania, and by the
laws of that State she resides there
i a year before she can obtain a di
vorce on the ground that her hus
band was convicted of felony. She
has already lived there several
I months, and if he is all .wed to
serve the State wgia a while

ROME GEORGIA. FRIDAY EVENING JUNE 7 1895
on returning from a trip in the
suburbs to-day, said that while
walking along the road he saw a
cat some distance from a dwelling
looking intently at somebhject.
He became so interested in the
feline’s strange actions that he
hitched his horse, and then dis
covered that the cat seemed rooted
to the spot by a large black snake,
which was coiled, and with its head .
erect, looking intently at the eat, 1
which had l>een charmed or hyp
notised.
Mr. Coolman secured a club ami
struck the snake, and as he did so
the cat fell as if it had been struck.
The next second it was on its feet
and running in great fright towards
the dwelling.

rounds of applause.
Capt. Moseley’s address was I
ii spired by the occasion and was
a fine specimen of inproftiptu or
atory.
He spoke of Mrs. Felton as an
educator of more than ordinary
ability ; and of her excellent Chris
tian character and influence which
are being impres ed on so many
of the rising generation.
Alluding to the resitation. “The

made an earnest appeal to the
children to point such pictures on
the walls of the present as they
will not be ashamed to meet in
the Great Future reminding them
that:

The entertainment from first to
